Spring 2008

Sorry I am not a very good blogger. I have been pretty busy and procrastinate on writing in the blog. We had a great time in Florida! Maddie loved Disney world and Micky and Minnie and the ocean. She still talks about it almost every day. It was so nice to be in the warm weather for a week. Maddie is 19 months now and is a very active girl. She likes to run not walk. She isn't interested in just sitting around playing with toys she wants to run around and see everything. She is very friendly and frequently greets strangers by saying hi or waving to them. She especially likes people with dogs or in wheelchairs. Sometimes when I take her on walks in her stroller she will say hi to the people in the cars driving by. She also loves other kids and does not like leaving daycare. Maddie is also talking a lot now and tries to mimic pretty much any word. She is great at saying people's names (Bumpa, Oel (Noel), unky punky (Jeremy), Kinsey, GG (Grandma), Jack, Cody, Magic, Macy, Marly) She says all of the animals names at daycare and all of the names of the kids at daycare too. She loves playing with her babies and we will often find them put to sleep under blankets throughout the house. Maddie also loves Shelby (our dog) and teases her with food on a daily basis. Surprisingly Shelby doesn't seem to mind too much. Nothing else is too new around here. Josh is still busy working at his medical billing business. I have a few weeks left of work and then I will be done for the summer. I did bid into a new teaching position for next year and will be teaching in a DCD classroom in the middle school . I am looking forward to the change. I am hoping next year won't be quite so stressful. I have to say every June my job seems like the best one out there because I don't have to work until the end of August.:) That's all for now.
